SUPPORT FOR SHADE-ROLLERS.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 588,710, dated August24, 1897.

Application filed Mal-011 2 2, 1897- To aZZ whom it may concern: V

Be it known that I, ANDRES F. WAHLBERG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Shade-Rollers, of which the following is a full and complete specification,such as will enable to make and use the same.

This invention relates to supports for window-shade rollers; and theobject thereof is to provide devices of this class which are simple inconstruction and operation and which are adapted to be connected withthe opposite sides of a window-frame, at the top thereof, in such mannerthat a shade-roller may be suspended therefrom, said devices beinglongitudinally adjustable, so as to accommodate shade-rollers ofdifferent lengths. The invention is fully disclosed in the followingspecification, of which the accompany- Figure 1 isa front View of onecorner of a window, showing my improvement; Fig. 2, a viewof one of theshade-holders detached; Fig. 3, a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2;Fig. 4, an end view of the holder, and Fig. 5 a similar view showing amodification.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, the separate partsof my improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference ineach of the views, and in said drawings I have shown at 7 the corner ofa window-frame provided with one of my improved supports for ashade-roller, and at8 one end of a shade-roller which is provided with ashade 9.

In practice I provide two similar devices, one of which is connectedwith each side of the window-frame at the top thereof, and one of thesedevices is shown in Fig. 1 as connected with the frame of the window,and in Fig. 2 said device is shown detached from said frame. This deviceconsists of a rec-' tangular frame 10, which is composed of wire, and ateach cornerof which is an eye or ring 11., through which screws, bolts,or nails may be passed, and mounted on the longitudinal sides of theframe 10 is a sliding holder proper, 12. This holder consists of a wire,the central portion of which isformedinto an eye or ring 13, whichprojects outwardly from the frame 10, and the. separate ends of the wireare coiled around the sides of'said frame,

desired manner on said frame by the arm 16 when the latter is in theposition shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The shade-roller 8 is provided centrally at each end thereof with theusual shaft 17, and this shaft at one end of said roller is round andat. the other end angular in form, and in Fig. 5 I have shown one of theholders 12, in which the eye or ring 13 is also angular in form, itbeing understood that this form of construction is necessaryat one endof the roller 8, so as to prevent the same from turning in the operationof raising and lowering the shade.

My improved shade-holders are simplein construction and operation andare perfectly adapted to accomplish the result for which they areintended, and it will be apparent that changes in and modificationsofthe con struction herein described may be made without departing fromthe spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent In a shade-roller support, a rectangular frame formedout of wire-and provided with an eye at each cornerthereof, anadjustable holder mounted thereon, said holder being triangular in formand consisting of an eye adapted to engage the roller-shaft, two coilsadapted to engage respectively the sides of the frame, a pivoted arm anda hook, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 20th day of March,1897.
